Heading for deathMeet the void beyond the gatesForever burn in the purgatoryBloodcurling whisperingsFrom your lungs, throat and lipsTake my hand and I'll spare your soulFollow me through eternityCome to me, I'm bleeding for you

[chorus:]Lick the wound - let the black blood flow in theeLick the wound and feel the rush as life begins againLick the wound - to be blessed by the hand of deathLick the wound, to feel the rush as life begins again

Wrists torn open widePulsating erupting veinsAs if the wine of life itselfYou shall seek unto it's well

Feast upon the blood of the deadA gluttony in demonic seedSuck until the very last dropDrink, swallow, quench your thirstA desire deeper than passion itselfJoin with me in a crusade for blood,An everlasting orgasm of ecstasy

Feel the hunger within, feel the ancient lustDrying veins crying out in painLick my wounds and become one with the nightIn the ageless obscured infinityClose your eyes and greet immortalityGreet the demons' cold embraceThe touch of death shall awake youLet the carnage begin, my veins are open for you

[Guitar lead by Jens Ryden]

[chorus:]Lick the wound - let the black blood flow in theeLick the wound and feel the rush as life begins againLick the wound - to be blessed by the hand of deathLick the wound, to feel the rush as life begins again
